Brooklyn-Queens Expressway

The Brooklyn-Queens Expressay is a major expressway flowing from Brooklyn and Queens on Long Island, New York to Manhattan in central New York City. A part of Interstate 278, the BQE was built from 1939 to 1964, and it cut through several residential neighborhoods, causing controversy. However, it allowed for traffic to flow between three of the five boroughs of New York City, and it also connected JFK International Airport to the rest of the city.
